REVIEWS

• Edmonton Sun - 8/19/07 - "Smith is a spellbinder...he sure holds an audience with his rapid-fire, deadpan delivery."

• Edmonton Journal - 8/5/07 - "...a quizzical, rueful, darkly funny exploration of our fear of randomness, our desperation for coherence and enlightenment..."

• CBC Winnipeg - 7/22/07 - "Smith’s delivery is fantastic - he’s quick, dryly comical, and most importantly, authentic..."

• Winnipeg Free Press - 7/20/07 - 5 STARS! "...gutsy, gut-busting and brilliantly told..."Now Magazine - Toronto - 5 STARS! "Intellignt and creatively executed..."

• Now Magazine, Toronto - 7/11/07 - 5 STARS! "Intellignt and creatively executed..."

• Eye Weekly, Toronto - 5 STARS! "...great stuff: funny, interesting and thought-provoking..."- 5 STA

• Ottawa XPress 6/17/07 "This play happily, magically and marvelously succeeds."

• Georgia Straight (Vancouver) 9/14/06 "An outrageous story told with shameless simplicity."

• The Province (Vancouver) - 9/11/06 "Think Bill Cosby's 'Noah' routine as performed by Michael Moore."

• Vancouver Sun 9/12/06 - "...add the actor's strong sense of showmanship and a gift for deadpan, and all that's needed is a solid premise. Smith's is brilliant..."

• Montreal Gazette 6/16/06 - 5 STARS! "... there isn't a moment during the hour when Smith looks at his spiritual journey with anything but a scintillating sense of humour, a magnificent turn of phrase and a way with a punchline that is jaw-dropping...a devastatingly significant work."

• Victoria Times Colonist 5/26/06 - "For someone who spent three years in a religious cult, Barry Smith has an awfully good sense of humour about it. Augmented with cunningly choreographed slides, sound clips and film footage -- (this piece) works amazingly well."

• Gothamist 8/15/05 - "...what the hell was he thinking?"

• New York Times 8/16/05 - "Mr. Smith is an affable storyteller, and his show is
both funny and gently thought-provoking."

• New York Magazine 8/17/05 - "Smith ... is an energetic and versatile raconteur, whipsawing between calm explication and the fiery cadences of a Delta preacher as the situation demands.

• NYTheater.com 8/18/05 - "...a traditional humorist in the same vein as David Sedaris or Garrison Keillor."
